Alacritty Terminal

OmniPTY launches as renamed Rust terminal emulator for macOS and Linux

OmniPTY, a GPU-rendered terminal emulator built in Rust, bundles features like a vim-driven file tree, workspace layouts, vim-style copy mode and a git/ssh-aware status bar directly into the app rather than requiring separate tools like tmux. The project was previously called Oxide and renamed in version 0.9.0 due to a naming conflict with an unrelated company; existing installs migrate automatically via the in-app updater or a Homebrew cask swap.

gPTY combines Godot and Rust to build an AI-controllable terminal multiplexer

gPTY is a new open-source project that pairs the Godot game engine with Rust to create a PTY-based terminal multiplexer featuring a resizable tiling grid for panes like terminals, code viewers, and file trees. It exposes a JSON-RPC/CLI/MCP control interface so AI agents and scripts can spawn panes, inject text, and read output programmatically instead of scraping terminal UIs. It also includes a regex-based 'concept engine' that captures and routes terminal output into other panes, plus persistence via SQLite/JSON for scrollback, settings, and workspaces.
